European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - November 10, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Tuesday november 10, 1987 letters the stars and stripes Page 11 t Ann Landers chiefs answer warrant officer s letter i Tel i must respond 1o the letter from a chief War rant officer As i am one of those uninformed warrant officer and although i rip get his right to be addressed in whatever manner he desires he docs not speak for All of us. If informal surveys count for any thing not even for a majority. As for myself i joined the . Army 30 years ago. As someone who was enlisted for 17 years and who has worked in almost every leadership position including lint sergeant i and my counterparts always looked up to and with the highest respect possible kept an Eye on this  Soldier who had All the answers at least it seemed so at the time. We knew he was the  now i Don t know where or. Webster spent his Early Yean by with no disrespect to this writer i know where i spent mine. I have Many friends and associates among the aviation Branch and Many of them do not like to be addressed As chief and for Good reason. They have worked Long and hard to reach their position and in aviation the Nior flight Crew member is called chief or Crew chief and so confusion would reign if Alt were called chief. As for Young soldiers growing up totally unaware of the Correct manner of addressing warrant officers and if a to i is a chief warrant officer or not i would suggest you refer to our reason for being. Our Mission is to support the army in a professional manner. The Only one who should count dots is finance. We Are one our Job demands we Cross lines at will to accomplish that goal. Lieutenants captains and above have their Mission we in the warrant officer corps have ours. Don t confuse the two in Cut ung my father was called or.  please Call me chief chief warrant officer Richard a Jones Carlstedt Germany me and chief Price give mister Breazell s letter four stubby thumbs Down sorry Clem. Sounds like mister Breazell should spend More Lime in informal conversation than stewing about sailors jargon. Mon. Ease up chief. Enjoy the Lime honoured term of endearment not unlike Doc or Serge there Are so Many More important things out there to vex us. So. Go ahead. Call me.  chief warrant officer Dunne k. Paulus Augsburg Germany Why Are leaders in the l a. Army concerned about the name used by the troops to gel their attention after nine years As an no in the army i have found thai troops will give you All the respect you earn. They give you Lii Cir affection in the name. Leadership has always been a two any Street. If the Leader takes care of his troops they will Lake care of him. Don t get me wrong i realize that discipline and professionalism Are mandatory for Mission accomplishment and that s the payoff but these traits arc taught by example. They cannot be demanded. I guess this brings up the  adage Lead by exam ple. Do you Send your troop to the motor Pool then retire to the snack bar for your two hour Coffee break do you really discipline in private and commend in Public do you treat your troops like the Leader you would want to follow when one of your troops is asked about becoming a sergeant do they want to be just like you if your answers were anything except what you wanted to hear you re doing something wrong a Leader in today s army is an elected official. Troops cast their vote to Job proficiency Mission accomplishment and respect. It is much easier to Lead and be followed then to walk behind and drive with a Slick. The people assigned to you will give you the respect you Cam they will give it to you once. If you neglect it or abuse it you will never get it Back. If you Are looking for respect from a regulation you re looking in the wrong place. Look inside your self. The respect you give your troops will be returned with interest. Albert b. Fraser Schweinfurt Germany in View of the Effort and requirements for us to attain the title of thief in the . Navy i agree with the writer. I am sure the . Navy chief Petty officer Community would not like . Army warrant ofor Cere to be called Chier either. Chief warrant officer . Nisbet Lisbon Portugal group s inclusion in Csc questioned who is responsible for the National organization for Reform of marijuana Laws being included in the combined Federal Campaign for 1986-87? this group not Only lobbies for the purpose stated in its name but actively works to subvert the effective Ness of drug user identification and Law enforcement programs and glamorize the use of marijuana. Their placement in the Csc seemed out of step with Dod policies on abuse of illicit drugs and the otherwise lofty intentions of the Csc. Nell 1. Krans by tort a Germany editor s note Stanley d. Brown special programs director Washington Headquarters services department of defense replies the National organization for Reform of marijuana. Laws Normal was listed in the 1986-87 combined Federal Campaign overseas area Csc of brochure based on the rules published by the office of personnel management pm. There Are Over 500 Csc including Etc overseas areas conducted yearly during the fall months. The pm Csc memorandum 87-j, dated May 20, 1987, provides two methods for developing an Agency list. 1. Local Federal coordinating committee list Locc agencies and Groppi wishing to participate being listed in a Campaign brochure must make application to each Csc committee stating that ii wishes to be listed and meet the requirement specified in pm rules and regulations. Z. Principal combined fund organization list a co those agencies or groups which received designated contributions in previous campaigns must be listed in current Campaign. A the 1986-87 Campaign the Csc of committee used the a co method. Specifically Normal received designated contributions during the 1985-86 Campaign thus qualifying them to automatically be listed on the 1986-87 Csc of brochure. In the 1987-88 Campaign the Csc of committee used the Locc method requiring agencies to apply for listing. Since no request was received from Normal they Are not on the 1967-88 list i Hope this explains Why the Agency had to be  on the 1986-87 brochure. We believe the Csc is a responsive program provid ing All department of defense employees an Opportunity to assist the less fortunate. A letters to the editor must contain the full printed name and address of the tiler and must be signed. We do not read unsigned Lettra but we will withhold your name on request and protect your privacy. All letters Are subject to calling. Dear Ann Landers a couple of years ago i was hooked on cocaine.
